乡土性赊销制度对小农户农机服务选择的影响效应研究

Will the Credit Sales System in Rural Society Affect the Choice of Agricultural Machinery Services for Small Farmers?

小农户是我国农业的主要经营主体,随着农业技术的进步,小农户的农机服务选择关系着农业机械化的推进速度和发展方向。本文基于乡土性赊销制度的概念框架,运用前景理论与贝克尔家庭效用函数,分析乡土性赊销制度对小农户农机服务选择行为、选择类型的影响,并采用倾向得分匹配法(PSM)对此进行验证,同时通过比较不同内部市场参与程度的组群差异,验证内部市场参与行为的调节作用。研究结果表明,乡土社会的赊销制度能够明显提升小农户的农机服务选择行为,且嵌入乡土性赊销制度当中的小农户更加倾向于选择本地农机服务。另外,小农户参与基层内部市场交换的程度越高,获得赊账消费时则越倾向于选择本地农机服务。

Small farmers are the main operating subjects of Chinese agriculture. With the progress of agricultural technology, the choice of small farmers’ agricultural machinery service is related to the speed and development direction of agricultural mechanization. Based on the conceptual framework of the rural credit system, this paper applies prospect theory, Becker’s family utility function, this study uses the propensity score matching method(PSM) to measure the influence of credit account consumption on the willingness and type of small farmers’ agricultural machinery service choices, and to verify the moderating role of internal market participation behaviors by comparing group differences in different levels of internal market participation. The results show that the credit sales system in rural society can significantly increase the willingness of small farmers to choose agricultural machinery services, and the small farmers embedded in the credit sales system are more inclined to choose local agricultural machinery services. In addition, the higher the level of participation of smallholders in transactions on the grassroots internal market, the more they tend to choose local agricultural machinery services when they get credit for consumption.
